I currently compile a device driver for my target and put it in /lib/modules/mydriver.ko. This is done after LTIB is finished.
I run insmod /lib/modules/m9kdriver.ko on the target after boot. This all works fine. However, now I want to automate everything so the driver gets installed automatically at boot.
I added /lib/modules/m9kdriver.ko to: Target System Configuration ---> Options ---> load these modules at boot
This doesn't work because depmod/modprobe expects the .ko files to be in: /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/
I copied m9kdriver.ko to /lib/modules/2.6.26.3-rt3/kernel/m9k/m9kdriver.ko and hoped it would be loaded at boot time but it doesn't work. lsmod shows nothing loaded. depmod -n does find m9kdriver.ko. (See below)
Specifically, this is what I would like to do:
1. Compile m9kdriver.ko on my own.
2. Copy it to the rootfs.
3. Tell LTIB that I want my driver to be loaded, (if I need to.)
4. Be happy when it loads at boot.
Is this possible? Any hints? Feel free to make recommendations if I'm corrupting the flow too much.
As always, much appreciated.
